Senegal in brief climate
Two main seasons mark the climate regime: the rainy season from July to October: (called wintering) is dominated by the monsoon flow which softens the high temperatures and brings greenery to the landscape. The maximum rainfall is in August, even September. The dry season lasts from November to June, with a predominance of trade winds, maritime (in the North-West) and continental (inland).
It is on the maritime coast to the west of the country that the temperatures are the most temperate. In the East and the center, the climate is continental with higher temperatures during the day and nights that can be cooler in certain seasons. On the northern coast, we find moderate temperatures (between 20 and 30 °C) which can rise to 40 °C in the central-eastern area of Ferlo (Linguère, Matam).
